Review by Library Journal Review

In his latest authoritative treatise, UK gardening writer Richardson (former gardens editor, Country Life; Great Gardens of America) explores current trends and developments in British landscape design through the prism of 25 different English gardens that have been designed or redesigned in the last decade. Each creation merits a concise yet engaging essay by Richardson about the philosophy and intentions of the designer(s) and how successfully they were embodied in the ensuing gardens. Lush color photographs by Lawson (The Gardener's Book of Color) contribute to simply stunning results. The scope of gardening styles covered ranges from modern designs, such as Patrick Blanc's Living Wall at London's Athenaeum Hotel, to the more classic look, for example, Jinny Bloom's Temple Guiting in Gloucestershire. -VERDICT Richardson delivers an excellent overview of the current state of landscape design in England, making this title complementary to Ursula Buchan's The English Garden, which has its own Lawson photographs and thematically covers the long history of public gardens in England. This book's spot-on combination of pithy prose and drool-worthy images will make it a sure hit with landscape-design professionals and armchair gardeners alike.-John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ (c) Copyright 2013.
